THIS WEEKS TOPIC Kissing Your Children on the Lips? Yay or Nay? What do YOU say? MY OPINION? Yay! Well… up to a certain age anyway.
I kiss my babies and toddlers on the lips and I honestly can not remember when I stopped. It’s kind of in the same category as kissing their feet. I LOVE their feet and kiss them like crazy up to a certain age… but again, I can not remember what age that is. Gracie is 3.5 years old and I am still kissing her on the lips and kissing her feet :)
Okay well that was a bit off topic. But you get the point. I do kiss my children on the lips and I’ve even been known to tease them by pretending to kiss them, but then I would suck their bottom lip and make a kissy noise. It’s hilarious! And fun!
But no, I do not kiss my 12, 13 or 15 year olds on the lips. That’s just gross haha.
How could you NOT want to kiss that fat lip?!? And look at Gracie’s lips… I just wanna kiss her!
What do you think?

Hmmmm My oldest son is 13 and we've had the same ritual since my oldest daughter was a baby (she's now 21) and when we pray at bedtime, I give them hugs and kisses goodnight. It's a quick peck on the lips. And when I mean quick, I mean, like super quick. Naturally it's becoming a side cheek kiss, but for me, we're family. I'm not making out with my son. My 9yo comes up to me, tells me he loves me and gives me a quick smooch. Kiss and go. I don't kiss my girls anymore, we still hug all the time, and I know it will happen with my boys, too. I remember as an adult meeting up with my dad after not seeing him for a few years and just giving him a quick kiss and a hug. It was never this odd or awkward thing. I think it's just how you grow up in your family. Society I think can make it out to be more than just family love. =)
ReplyDeleteAs for the kissing the feet thing...I can totally relate! lol No way I'd want to be kissing the feet of my 9 or 13 year old. Just...puke!
I kiss my boys.. they are 4 and 7 weeks. I kiss them on the lips and so does my husband. Not sure how long we will, but as long as I can get the love I will. I like that we are teaching our boys that affection is good. As for feet.. I kiss my 7 week olds.. not so much my 4 year olds unless he has just had a bath.. lol! He gets some dirty boy feet.
ReplyDeleteWe love kisses too, and have lotsa fun with it. :) When my 5-yr-old hones in for a lip kiss, I open my eyes up super wide to freak her out after she's opened hers back up, lol. She also enjoys 'zombie kisses,' (act like we're half dead with terrible aim, haha), and 'dip kisses,' as if I'm dipping her during a dance to steal a kiss. :) I kiss her tootsies still, especially after they're washed.
ReplyDeleteMy 16-yr-old gives me a kiss on the cheek, and in return, I zerbert her cheek (that little fart noise made with the lips)Kind of a ritual with us. My 19-yr-old son, however,is just a hugging type-o-guy, but doesn't mind a cheek kiss once in a while. No foot kissing with either of these two, lol. These guys' feet definitely build up a nasty stench throughout the day. I think if I can ever smell their feet from the other end of the couch at any given time, all foot- kissing priveledges are permanently revoked! O.o
I kiss my 5.5 year old on the lips. But not that he's in school he's too cool for me to kiss him anywhere near the school while dropping him off. If I don't get my kiss at home before we leave he'll look around quick to see if anyone is watching and let me kiss the top of his head!
ReplyDeleteI use to think it was gross when I worked at a daycare and the parents kissed the kids on the lips and then the kids would want to kiss you on the lips (at 1 year old they will kiss anyone!)
But once My son came along I understood it. It's just natural to do it. (I still don't want other peoples kids to kiss me on the lips! YUCK!)
